Solar Panels Designed Around Your Home in Norfolk & Suffolk
Today’s compact residential panels generally produce around 400–500 W each. We use high-quality N-type and back-contact modules from Canadian Solar, Trina Solar and AIKO, selected to suit the roof, appearance and required system size.
More power from each roof space.
A few years ago, domestic panels were commonly rated around 300–370 W. Current residential modules now sit broadly between 400 and 500 W, so the same roof can often support a larger array with fewer panels.
Many compact residential modules use a 54 full-cell format split into 108 half-cells. Manufacturers do not all count or describe cells in the same way: Trina’s current Vertex S+ datasheet, for example, lists 144 cells. Panel dimensions, electrical characteristics and inverter compatibility matter more than the marketing cell count alone.

Array size is the panel rating multiplied by the number of panels. A 10-panel system using 450 W modules is 4.50 kWp; 12 panels is 5.40 kWp; 16 panels is 7.20 kWp.
Higher-wattage panels are particularly useful where roof space is limited, but the best design also considers orientation, shading, inverter limits and how much electricity the property uses.
Example with 450 W panels
- 8 panels = 3.60 kWp
- 10 panels = 4.50 kWp
- 12 panels = 5.40 kWp
- 16 panels = 7.20 kWp
- 20 panels = 9.00 kWp
All-black panels create a more consistent roof finish.
Black frames, dark cell surfaces and discreet interconnection patterns help the array read as one clean block rather than a patchwork of blue cells and silver lines. AIKO’s back-contact design is especially uncluttered, while Canadian Solar and Trina offer strong all-black residential options.
Terracotta panels for sensitive roofs.
For clay-tile roofs, conservation settings and projects where black modules may look too prominent, Eurener’s terracotta-coloured N-type modules offer a visually softer alternative.
The current range includes 360–375 W single-glass modules and a 400 W dual-glass bifacial module in RAL 8001 terracotta.
